Green & Black Organic 72% Baking Chocolate: Produced dark brown color with nice sheen. Thickened up very quickly and evenly, without using cornstarch or arrowroot. Good bittersweet flavor and smooth texture. Mark characterized it as "yummy!" I would definitely use the Green & Black 72% again.
Scharffen Berger 70% Bittersweet: Not quite as deep a hue as the Green & Black, but it quickly thickened, like the G&B did--more so, perhaps. It looked like chocolate frosting. Not a smooth texture, however. Somewhat more like...chocolate frosting. Mark and I both detected a chalky feel when consuming it. Mark normally prefers to keep the whipped cream floating on top of his cup of chocolate as long as possible, spooning both cream and chocolate together. But with the Scharffen Berger, he mixed the whipped cream in to help mitigate the chalkiness of the chocolate. I would not use the Scharffen Berger again.
